From Xbox for Windows and Cortana for desktop to some resurrected Start Menu and new multitasking tools, Windows 10 provides a bevy of useful features. Fundamental essentials Ten best. 1. Start Menu retus It's what Windows 8 detractors were clamoring for, and Microsoft brought back the Start Menu with Windows 10. Now, whenever you click on the Start button at the end left from the screen, you get two panels side by side, using the left column showing pied, recently used, and most-used apps. There is also an electrical button at the top for options such as Hibeate, Standby and Shutdown, as well as an all apps option a la Windows 8. The best column includes a selection of live tiles that you could customize, resize and reorganize. Not that, however the search field at the end will look up related Inteet results in addition to programs and files (as it did on Windows 7). Better still, you can have the Start Menu expand to full screen whenever you want, eliminating the need for a Mode UI Start Screen. 2. Cortana on desktop Being lazy just got much easier. Windows 10 brings Microsoft's voice-controlled digital assistant Cortana to desktop computers, making it easier for you to interact with your device without lifting a finger. You can search your hard drive for particular files, pull-up photos from specific dates, or launch PowerPoint presentations simply by telling your computer to do so. You may even get Cortana to send an e-mail

Furthermore, Microsoft says it's removed the tablet-oriented taskbar it previously introduced in another Windows 11 build. "As a result of feedback from Windows Insiders, we have disabled the tablet-optimized taskbar feature that first started rolling to Windows Insiders in Build 22563 for the time being. Hopefully to bring this feature during the future after further refinement from the experience. As we've stated earlier, features we try out in the Dev or Beta Chaels might not always ship," the company explains. More fixes The software giant adds this build also resolves a vital issue affecting users who wanted to join the Windows Insider program from Windows 10 devices. "We fixed the issue causing Windows Insiders ruing Windows 10 who were attempting to join the Dev or Beta Chaels to come across a download error code 0xc8000402 while trying to download the latest build.

Firefox has just reached another milestone, as version 100 has become readily available for download on all supported desktop platforms. Needless to say, given it's such a big release, Firefox 100 comes with plenty of improvements, including support for captions or subtitles on YouTube, Prime Video, and Netflix if you watch the videos in Picture-in-Picture mode. Mozilla says that starting with this version, when you run the browser the very first time, Firefox automatically checks the word what that's enabled on your device. And when it doesn't match the word what of the browser, the app can automatically prompt the user to choose between the two languages and therefore decide which someone to use. The built-in spell checker also does its magic in multiple languages starting with this update, and users can enable this behavior in the text field's context menu. Lots of other improvements There are also additional video improvements for Windows and Mac. "Hardware accelerated AV1 video decoding is enabled on Windows with supported GPUs (Intel Gen 11+, AMD RDNA 2 Excluding Navi 24, GeForce 30). Installing the AV1 Video Extension in the Microsoft Store may also be required," Mozilla explains. "HDR video is now supported in Firefox on Mac-starting with YouTube! Firefox users on macOS 11+ (with HDR-compatible screens) can also enjoy higher-fidelity video content. You don't need to manually flip any preferences to tu HDR video support on-just m
